hahaha, why would i create a backup!? that would make sense. i have not created a back up. i had not gotten around to doing it yet. it was on my list of things to do.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Real_D/\SH:
Boot in to CWM Recovery go to backup/restore /advanced restore, select restore /system only. Once that is complete clear the cache, reboot. you can then delete your dalvik cache (note: clearing the dalvik cache doesn't work via CWM currently). That's it.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaff37:
If you didn't make a back up, just re flash the rom. If you were still stock, just flash preludedrew's or nfinitefx's base. You can even still keep your data. Just make sure from now on to back up before doing any mods.

i was trying to make my galaxy pad ad hoccable by putting a new wpa supplicant file in the root app. and now i have no wifi at all. things i have already tried are erasing the files i inserted and when that didnt work i did a hard reset. i still have no wifi can anyone help?????
[Wildfire General] raniero1:
using cyanogenmod 6 on my wildfire ive installed the laucher pro and im using it as default launcher but every time i reboot the phone the adw launcher start up, ive tried with root explorer to kill and delete it, but when i reboot the adwlauncher regenerate in the system app folder and restart

in addiction to this the live wallpaper ive set up at any reboot keep being restore with the last image wallpaper that was set up, is this normal? cant be kept a live wallpaper?
[Wildfire General] _generic:
I had the same problem when I moved launcher pro to SDCard, putting it to internal (phone) memory resolved the problem.

If that doesn't help then you have to flash an update.zip script to remove ADWLaucnher from your /system/app directory.

here is a topic that explains how to make your own update.zip to move or add files to your /system/app directory. It's easy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917922

and if you have set up adb shell on your pc then delete that file with it, after you put your phone into a recovery mode.

someone should develop an app that not only restrict outgoing calls to a specific number, but also restrict outgoing texts also.

this would be a good intervention tool for ppl who cant stop calling or texting someone who doesnt want that attention :p

leme know if and when there is such an app that includes both feature

Bluetooth is Bluetooth, every once in a while a device will have specific compatibility with a certain phone but for the most part it's like a wifi router or similar, no matter what brand you get it will still work.

Verizon was selling plantronics voyager pro+ for $60 around 3 weeks ago....6 hour talk time....i like it...tells you how much talk time you have left...volume, power on off, noise cancellation, reversible....and they are super popular in the business world right now.

Also, consumer reports rates these as one of the best on the market for the price
[Fascinate Accessories] thomasjefferson:
I cannot suggest the s305's. Got 2 of em for me and my wife(both on fascinates). Battery life is pretty poor on both, and on a side note they have a hell of a time connecting to my m11x alienware laptop.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Hey everyone, I received my TPU case from EBay (item 290530353216) today, here are some comments and pics. The fit is only OK - the cutout for the USB/HDMI ports is a little off, and there is a little bit of an edge around the power button that impedes fingerprint swipability a little. I will say too that I didn't expect it to have the goofy pattern - what is it with TPU cases and argyle patterns?? Also, as you've noticed it is somewhat translucent.

I give it a 3/5. $7 shipped in the US. I'll keep it until another inexpensive case rolls around that is higher quality.

And just in case anyone wonders, on my screen are the Pandora Widget, Android Agenda Widget, and some apps. I am running ADW Launcher (free). Also, I know I left my back panel sticker on there, and that was on purpose.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] eatkabab:
Yeah seriously with the frikin argyle ****! Its like they made a billion sheets of the argyle TPU and they just like heat mold them to phones (not like thats how they're made). This will be my third phone encased in argyle TPU. Other two were the dark one like yours, this time I got sick of trying to hide the argyle and people asking about the stupid pattern. I got clear so, "yes its frikin argyle! got a problem!?"

Waiting for the Realook screen protectors to be cut. no idea why it takes them so long to cut the right size. Realooks are by far the best screens...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Everything is temporary at this point...I'll buy nicer stuff once my 30 days are up.

I was fortunate enough to have a solid black non-patterned TPU case for my EVO that someone on this forum actually commissioned and was selling out of their garage essentially.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] daveop:
Check out tpu-cases.com. I bought an all black one there, shipped same day. Quality is nice, it's glossy, feels good in the hand for an 8$ case.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] lsxrx7:
the 1.99 one I got from ebay is decent
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Nice, never seen that site before. I'll order one up and hopefully it'll get here by the time I'm home from travel. Wish someone would make one like I had for my Evo though - it was matte on the back and shiny on the front.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] hotleadsingerguy:
Well I tried the Speck (or whatever it's called) case from AT&T and hated it...looked and felt like a toy.

Then I tried the Otterbox Impact (the smallest case they make). It's made of a type of rubber that sucks up all dust and won't let it go. It's pure black rubber but after putting it in my pocket and driving up to Starbucks to meet some friends...it looked gray. My pockets don't have any lint or anything in them...and yet the case now looks completely gray. I just put it on yesterday. It's also a bit big for my tastes...and the phone can easily come out of the bottom.

I'm going to try the cheapest cases on eBay. They always worked great for my Nexus 1 and most other phones I've used. The cheap thin rubber is fantastic for me. The phone's so freaking sexy...I just don't want to add a bunch of mass to it.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fixter:
You can try the Incipio Feather. I purchased it yesterday and I like a lot.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] domin8:
i like the feather as well. not much in terms of impact protection, but most of my scratches come from the phone vibrating on the desk over time and scuffing the battery door, so its a nice line of defense against that. also, its a little less slippery than the standard battery door which i like
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Fixter:
Yeah its great for worrying less about the normal wear and tear. :cool:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] copualt3:
I particular like the argyle tpu cases which give decent protection and feel. i have it for the ipad, galaxy tab, atrix, inspire, and xoom.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] JustinD2473:
www.degasis.net offers these as well
[Atrix 4G Accessories] eatkabab:
I ordered my case from http://www.degasis.net/models/atrix.html (as the poster above recommended. $6.98 shipped

This is the best fitting TPU case I've had across all my devices. The best part is that it actually makes the on/off button easier to push and the finger scanner easier to operate (its cut at the perfect angle to compliment it). Its slightly different cut but a better fit than the pictures posted above.

I'll post pictures when I come across another camera some time today or tomorrow.

TPU is far superior to any other case material in my book. perfect balance of grip/non-stick, thinness, protection, and fit.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] lsxrx7:
looks exactly like the case i got from ebay for $1.99 lol
[Atrix 4G Accessories] grayfoxx:
Incipio protection?

I really like the look and feel of the Incipio low profile cases. Do you feel like it would do any good if you dropped the phone?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
That's the problem I have with the feather - it doesn't protect either end of the device, only the sides and back.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] kbc88:
Judging by the picture, it looks like you have that "textured" screen protector. What is the screen protector you are using? Those are my favorite kinds and I have been trying to find one for a while! thanks in advance
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Kbc, who are you asking? I'm using an AT&T screen protector. It's matte and perfectly smooth.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Mitty1990:
Sounds similar to the one i had on my desire but I cant find it anywhere now :(
[Atrix 4G Accessories] -Roze-:
OK, you've sold me on this case :D Good description of how it is, what colour did you get?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] dxta0:
Does anyone know if this case works well with the car dock
[Atrix 4G Accessories] riotburn:
I got one of those cases in black. Its a great case but its damn near impossible to remove. That is a problem because since I've started using that case my phone has frozen and have to do a battery pull but with that case on, makes it endeavor to do so. And by freezing I mean, I go to turn it on and nothing happens, just stays black but I can see the notification light blinking. You think the case can cause that (if its pressing on the screen)?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
No - it's a capacitive screen - the case on the screen will not register as a touch.

TPU cases are the tightest fitting polymer cases. If you want a loose fitting case get a silicon one. The easiest way to remove a TPU case is to push one corner of the case off, then you'll be able to work the rest of the case off.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] riotburn:
Hmm but the only problem is to even get the corner off, you need a tool. Since the phone can freeze anywhere, means id have to have the tool with me everywhere which im not. Idk why the phone is doing that but its not cool.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] beazie0885:
Yes it works, I have 2 from degasis, u have to press down a little harder, but it does work just fine
[Atrix 4G Accessories] beazie0885:
Dude, are you serious? TPU pulls right off. Its super simple and I can do it with one finger. All I use is tpu and never had a problem taking it off. Never...
[Atrix 4G Accessories] riotburn:
Then maybe the one i have isnt TPU. Its plastic with a front and back that snap together over the phone.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Yeah that is not the kind of case we're discussing in this thread. TPU cases are tight fitting semi-flexible one-piece cases.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] beazie0885:
+1 ...but forgot to add, that they're freakin AWESOME too! GO TPU! if you want protection, plus slim-ness, and imo they just look better too
[Atrix 4G Accessories] live4nyy:
I like TPU cases too but I just wanted to add that they do have the tendency to stretch out over time if you're someone like me that uses a backup battery from time to time for "long days" and you have to remove it on a regular basis. Other than that, they are a good combination of flexibility and toughness.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] riotburn:
already ordered a 5 for $10 deal on ebay. Just unfortunate they are all argyle crap.
[Xoom General] juancferrer:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] PerKiller:
Hello. I have currently tried to install xrecovery to be able to install a custom rom to get Apps2SD, but even though I have tried every method I've found on this forum, bricked my phone once and repaired it, tried again, I -cannot- boot into xrecovery.

Can anyone help me to please pinpoint the problem? The method of starting xrecovery is pretty crude aswell, making this issue real annoying, as I don't know if maybe I didn't push the back button at the exact right time or something like that.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] HanMedSverd:
Ok, first, when are you starting to push? :)

* Start pushing the backbutton right after you feel a vibration!

* It's the Sony Ericsson logo with ONLY text they're talking about!

* Some1 says it worked 4 them pulling the keyboard out after the vibration ! :)

[Omnia 7 General] Wraith_17:
I've tried to enable the usb tething feature in the Omnia 7 by going into the diagnostics and using *#7284# to enable.

I then installed samsung modem drivers and created a dial up connection in windows 7 dialling *99#

However every time it tries to connect it times out with either error 628 or 692. (Non response or hardware problem)

I've tried adding extra initialisation instructions in the advance tab of the modems properties in windows device manager but nothing works.

The problem is I'm on Three UK and I don't know what the settings for Three should be.

Anyone made it work?
[Omnia 7 General] thenewperson:
Can't tether either

Same phone, same network. The USB tethering doesn't work for me in Windows (getting the same problem as you are) or OS X.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
I would like to thank the devs and all the other helpful people in the captivate forums, tons of information from fixing a broken phone to enhancing it with custom roms or tweaks. I have found almost if not all solutions to every problem I have had with my phone. Decided to upgrade to the htc inspire and it is really freaking sweet. So time to switch to the inspire forums. Btw I checked out the atrix and have commented on it before and it just feels cheap same size screen as cappy but everything on screen looks smaller wasnt impressed with it. anyways been fun.
[Captivate General] sturgeon123456:
You mean you switched to a phone that has 2 doors that dont fit on the back and a camera that sticks out and the edges of the aluminum body protrude past the screen?

At least you can fix the software problems with the cappy...LOL just playing....enjoy
[Captivate General] jc2470:
yep and like everything about it, nothing about cap i actually liked, was just only decent android phone att had at time. cappy felt like a little girl phone, and hated the plastic and the galaxy s sticking out all rough on the back, oh and the usb slot on top like how much thought was actually put into that? talking on the phone and its sticking out the top? Holding the htc in hand feels like quality and quite pleased with it, yes the battery door is rough to take off first few times but it loosens up, and atleast it has a flash.
[Captivate General] Scott_S:
I think I'm just about ready to join you.

Having to pay $399 off-contract to get the insipre sux, though. I'll have to sell my captivate, and I'm not sure whether to do it via Craigslist or eBay... just a hassle I wish I didn't have to deal with.

It'd be a lot easier if att would just take this phone back and give me credit towards the inspire, but I ain't gonna hold my breath for that one.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
I had captivate for 6 months i only had to pay 300.00 for the inspire with 6 month early upgrade. I put my captivate on craigslist for 175.00 this afternoon and sold it 30 min later, someone contacted me within 5 min of posting it on craigslist. basically it cost me 150.00 out of pocket today to get it and my cappy was 6 months old i think that is minimum for early upgrade not sure but call att store.
[Captivate General] sturgeon123456:
Hey I was just kidding. I have been through many phones. Some are better than others. The Captivate is decent, but definitely is not one of the better Android offerings. I was going to buy the atrix, although thats supposed to have a rather dissapointing screen. Oh well.
[Captivate General] Scott_S:
My early upgrade doesn't come til July, and I'm not gonna wait that long. It's getting harder and harder to hold out with all the happy captivate->inspire defections that are growing by the day ;-)

That's pretty encouraging on the Craigslist thing, I must say. That'll be the way I go, when this swap goes down.
[Captivate General] ryude:
Love the inspire hardware, hate the software and from reading their development forums it seems like a much different community than ours.
[Captivate General] kangi26:
I had my hands on both devices today. I agree about the screen size of the Atrix. It was just too small, and I didnt care for the feel of it either. Now the Inspire on the other hand, was REALLY nice, not to mention, $99.99 with a 2 yr, if I hadn't just done my upgrade on my Captivate. I'd give the Inspire a serious look.

There were a couple things that I think make the Cap a better phone. The Cap has the Hummingbird processor, and comes with double the internal memory the Inspire does. But the Inspire has a 8mp camera with flash. There aren't too many other devices that have that one. THe screen is a little bigger, and it really does feel pretty good, nice solid build
[Captivate General] capedavenger:
did you happen to also notice a difference in call quality and battery life?

i was thinking of getting the inspire, but decided on the captivate since there were more things one can do on it.

i have to say that both phones look really nice though. :)
[Captivate General] a.vandelay:
i love the captivate hardware, it's super slim, great screen, fast hummingbird, but the software blows. hopefully we can fix it with aosp builds until my contract is up again.
[Captivate General] eramming:
Only 12gb of storage is a big minus for me. Everything else look good though. I change phones once a year so by the time november rolls around something way better than the cappy and the inspire will be available.
[Captivate General] Slowazz28:
Volume & Signal ???

So, hows the volume and signal on the inspire compared to the cappy. I mean does it pull in signal better than the cappy and how is the volume, earpiece and speaker, compare to the cappy ?
[Captivate General] secretasianman:
I think the Inspire pulls in a better signal than my Captivate (which I sold on Craigslist a week later). Volume, earpiece, and speaker seem the same to me although I'm no audiophile and usually use a my bluetooth headset to talk anyway.

Regardless of how some people feel about SAMOLED screens, I thought the Captivate's screen was awesome. The Inspire's screen is more than adequate and the extra 0.3 inches is quite noticeable. The colors are not as vibrant and rich as the Captivate's but again.. it's very adequate.

There are three other features where the Captivate shines:

1) MKV compatibility: It was nice being able to toss a 720P MKV file of my TV shows onto the phone and play it smoothly without having to waste time re-encoding.

2) 16GB of internal storage: It's nice to have an excess of storage space! :D

3) TV out even though it's only analog.

The Inspire doesn't have the codec support for MKV files, has 1GB of internal storage accessible to the user, and no TV out. Bummer.

I still like the Inspire more because of the two most important features: Working GPS and that huge 4.3" screen. Seriously... side by side that screen just jumps out.
